FROM THE WINNER OF THE GUARDIAN CHILDREN'S FICTION PRIZE
A thrilling animal adventure for fans of Roald Dahl, David Walliams and Katherine Rundell
This is the story of a boy named Kester. He has rescued the last wild animals in the world, and saved his capital city from destruction. But now he must face his greatest challenge yet, because:
1. The only blue whale on the planet has brought news from across the ocean
2. A mysterious steel dome has risen from the Four Towers
3. Out there, somewhere, a brave mouse holds the key to the future...
